Lady Aritia Whytestreak

Name: Aritia Whytestreak

Species: Badger

Gender: Female

Rank: Ruler of Salamandastron

Origin: Aritia was born in the North Highlands.

Age: 40

Appearance: Aritia resembles Lord Urthwyte, but instead of having all white fur, her fur's black except for her birthmark, a white stripe that starts at her forehead, runs down and splits into two stripes that run across her face under her dark green eyes. She dresses plainly, a simple green tabard and tunic with a chainmail vest underneath.

Aritia speaks with a heavy Highland accent. She has the bloodwrath, but also knows a way to control it in battle.

Personality: compassionate and courageous; adores young ones. Despises vermin.

Weapons: Aritia carries a pair of large, double-edged claymores slung across her shoulders. They used to be her father's before he gave them to her.

History: Aritia was born to Laird Duncan and Lady Tolmie Whytestreak. She grew up in peace with her kin. Her mother used to suffer from the bloodwrath, but taught herself and her daughter how to control it.

Aritia shared a dream she had of a badger welcoming her into a fire mountain with her parents when she was young. Tolmie knew Aritia had experienced a vision of Salamandastron. Duncan took his daughter to the mountain. Before they went, he gave Aritia his claymores, along with a message: "Lassie, ah'm givin' ye a braw brace o' weapons. Mah blades will serve ye well. Use 'em tae defend yoreself, yore mates, the weak an' helpless." Aritia promised him she would, and she's never broken that promise.

The Badger Lady welcomed Aritia in and accepted her as her protege, raising her until she could take the position herself.
